DIESEL FUEL

TAYRONA INVESTMENTS LLC, a small business designated as 8(a), Women-Owned Small Business, and HUBZone, has been awarded a delivery order under contract SPE60526D9551 for the supply of diesel fuel and other energy products under a requirements contract with a period of performance spanning November 1, 2025, through November 30, 2028. The specific line item detailed in this award is diesel fuel with NSN 9140015240139, priced at $5.0335 per gallon for a base quantity of 1,500 gallons, totaling $7,550.19, with a permitted quantity variation of plus or minus 10 percent under FAR 52.211-16. While this specific delivery order is for a modest amount, it falls within a much larger framework of energy procurements under the same master contract, which includes multiple CLINs for diesel fuel, E85, and other fuel types with an estimated total potential value exceeding $2.4 million if all maximum quantity variances are exercised. Deliveries are FOB destination to designated DoD locations including Fort Lewis, Fairchild AFB, Bremerton, and White City, with inspection and acceptance performed by the Government at those locations, in accordance with ASTM D975 and specific DLA Energy Quality Assurance Provisions. Packaging and labeling must conform to MIL-STD-129, requiring Data Matrix barcodes with NSN, contract number, and other critical identifiers, and the contractor must comply with all applicable defense and commercial supply chain rules, including prohibitions on covered telecommunications equipment, ByteDance applications, and Kaspersky products. The contract incorporates stringent cybersecurity requirements under NIST SP 800-171 and mandates flow-down of these obligations to subcontractors, with cyber incident reporting required through DoD channels. Payment is exclusively processed through Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) using the DoDAAC SL4701, and the contractor is subject to ongoing compliance with small business program obligations, SAM representations, and federal prohibitions on gratuities, kickbacks, and foreign influence. All contract terms are governed by FAR 52.212-4 for commercial items, with economic price adjustment provisions applicable to bulk fuel CLINs based on market indices linked to March 2025 baselines.
